Cake Batter Delux - Cold Stone Creamery

Cake Batter Delux - Cold Stone Creamery
With summer approaching, it only appropriate that I inform you of a cupcake you can enjoy even in 100+ degree weather...it's the Cake Batter Delux cupcake from Cold Stone Creamery. Yes, from Cold Stone Creamery, which means it's an ICE CREAM cupcake! Check out these beauties at http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/cakes/cupcakes.html. Aside from ice cream being a favorite "food" of mine, when it’s combined and transformed into a cupcake...well, let's just say that makes for a very happy cupcake connoisseur. While Cold Stone offers other cupcake flavors (see below), I specifically encourage you to try the Cake Batter Delux! The cupcake transported me back to my childhood when my sister and I would wait for our mom to finish whisking the cake batter in the bowl and would hand us each our own whisk to lick-off...YUMMY! There is nothing like cake batter! The entire cupcake is edible, even the crunchy outer-shell chocolate cup. I am definitely a fan of this chocolate cup and think it’s quite ingenious. Taking a bite into the chocolate cup releases a smooth, refreshing, "melts-in-your-mouth," cake batter flavored ice cream, on top of a layer of red velvet cake, and fudge (also a bonus for this cupcake connoisseur).  The cupcake is topped with a bright, fluffy, not-overly-sweet pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles to make you smile and feel like a kid again. With the combination of cake and ice cream, the Cake Batter Delux is the perfect treat for summer and beyond! As with all other cupcake recommendations, let me know what you think! These cupcakes are a steal at $12.00 a six-pack (ps...they only come in a six-pack).
